My Friends are missing
Hey Everyone-
My friends James & Kati Kim, and their two little girls are missing. they were last seen on Saturday, Nov. 25 in Portland. They left Portland in the afternoon, headed for Gold Beach, Oregon, and never arrived. There were driving a SILVER 2005 SAAB STATION WAGON. The other notable thing about the car is the license plate reads: DOESF More information about this can be found at: http://www.sfgov.org/site/police_index.asp?id=37978 Anyone with information about the Kims is urged to call Inspector Angela Martin with the San Francisco Police Department's missing persons unit at (415) 558-5508. After hours, callers can contact the Police Department's operation center at (415) 553-1071. Some of you geeks may know James Kim as the Senior Editor of CNET and he does a lot of reviews and work for them. I have known him and his family for years and this heart breaks me. If any of you have any information or leads... -Eric |

I hope nothing tragic has happened and everything is OK. That's a scary situation and I'd feel so horrible if it were me. Good luck man and I hope all turns out for the best.

Helicopters and seach parties have been combing the areas all weekend- I went out with some friends to help in an AWD Legacy, however, even with the AWD drive there are still some places that we had to turn back from that were just too iced over...
I think this is going to turn into a very tragic story as it is turning more into just a search as opposed to a search-and-rescue... I believe they slid off the road down into an embakement, so guys, just remember even with our AWD you're not invincible, you can still slide so just be really careful and remember this when you're driving around in the winter. |

We're still looking for James- He went out on foot about 2 days ago to try and find help... They have been tracking his tracks, and I guess he strayed off the road for some reason- but they seem to be on his trail, they are looking with helicopters into the night that have night vision capabilities... in the morning they will be using horse and dog teams to continue.
Kati (mom), penelope and Sabine are ok with no serious injuries, I guess they had provisions in the car and were eating those, and once they were out of gas- they started burning their tires apparently to stay warm. |

What happened to them, to the car? How were they found? I'm hoping for the best with James.

Here is a good article that sums up what happened:
http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cg...AGR2MP9383.DTL I spoke with Kati tonight. She is in good spirits and was with some friends when I was able to speak to her. She was definitely her Kati self, as she made some funny jokes. We're all still very worried about James but so hopeful that they are right on his trail. Kati had some frostbite on her toes, and Sabine had some 1st degree frostbite on her arm. They'll both be fine, and Sabine should recover fully. They will be out all night looking for James, and we're expecting news at any time telling us that he will be coming home. The article pretty much tells what happened with their car, but they basically got stuck in the snow and underbrush... Quote:

I've just seen this. I'm really pleased the Mom and kids are good, and I hope James is found OK. It sounds really dangerous and treacherous out there. Keep your hopes up. My prayers are with you. Joe

No positive news on James.
Apparently some of his personal affects have been discovered... his pants were discovered, along with some other things. I'm not quite sure what this means, but it doesn't feel good. I'm pretty much bracing for the worst at this point. I can ony imagine what Kati is going through at this point. |
